Controlling narratives is critical in the context of international war and the media. The UN's reported death toll from Gaza has recently come under fire; allegations suggest that the UN dramatically reduced its numbers downward. The UN has denied this accusation, but it seems to be a part of a larger disinformation operation meant to support Israeli state propaganda and hide the truth about Palestinian suffering. | The UN promptly refuted the initial accusation that it had significantly altered the death toll from Gaza. In spite of this, the idea was not written off as a straightforward error in the media but ra…
There is one thing we should all be able to agree with Benjamin Netanyahu on: Any comparison between Israel's war crimes and those of Hamas is, as the Israeli prime minister put it, "absurd and false" and a "distortion of reality".Here's why: * Israeli war crimes have been ongoing for more than seven decades, long …
To a working family "camping" on the street or a homeless single mother, this is what political collapse feels like. The UK is #1 in homelessness, the USA "leads" the developed world in percentage of its population living on the street. Meanwhile, endless billions are borrowed and sent abroad to senselessly genocide millions. These sure signs of Imperialist decline can't be ignored forever. 
A significant number of American Jews are now willing to challenge the Zionist project while pointing out that it is inherently fated to suppress the human rights of non-Jews in Palestine. Speaking at a protest near Sen. Chuck Schumer's home in Brooklyn last month, Naomi Klein said: "We don't need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name."

While Germany cracks down on free speech and debate over Israel's genocidal war in Palestine in the name of 'protecting Jews and fighting antisemitism', its military industrial complex is making mega profits from the sales of weapons to Israel, writes Mary Merkenich.

For many people, the question is inflammatory. The crimes of the German Nazis were of such magnitude that comparison with any other historical violence is invidious. The genocide of the Jews was deliberate and methodical and intended to eliminate every last one. The goal was the same with the Romani and Sinti people. By comparison, the Israelis — currently accused of genocide — are rank amateurs. They have so far killed some 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza out of a population of 2.3 million.

Since October 7, the Biden administration has approved more than 100 Foreign Military Sales arms transfers to Israel.

"Judaism cannot be separated from Israel. Zionism is, simply put, the manifestation of that belief," stated a recent message from Jewish students at Columbia University.

In the historic criminal hush money election fraud trial of former President Donald Trump, New York prosecutors are wrapping up their case charging Trump with falsifying business records in an illegal effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Pro-Palestinian solidarity activists in Australia have long been spreading information about the tragedy of the Palestinian people and the legitimacy of their revolution to Australian society, writes Khaled Ghannam. One example is the Arabic language publication Sawt Falastine (Voice of Palestine), first published in 1974.
Police arrested more than 2,300 protesters in at least 58 crackdowns at 44 colleges or universities between April 18 and May 3 as pro-Palestinian encampments spread like wildfire across the U.S. It can reasonably be argued that university administrators themselves provoked students into taking action, and it can certainly be proven that they fanned the flames of defiance after the protests began—by forcibly repressing the protests.

As the student movement in solidarity with the Palestinians and denunciation of their genocide by Israel intensifies in the United States and now spreads across the planet, there are growing indications that it is succeeding in influencing the central balance of forces while it is being recognized as a major factor in international developments of decisive importance!

Turned out to be a pretty stimulating podcast. Nima did his typical excellent interview and I teed-off on Hakeem Jeffries. I am disgusted and exasperated with the legion of U.S. lawmakers so eager to wage war on other countries, using the sons and daughters of average Americans. I dream of a world where a member of Congress, who votes to fund a war, must immediately resign and join up. Put their own sorry, worthless asses on the line. If we had that as a requirement, I am certain we would see the end of war fever.
Despite being described in some circles as such, the latest vote in the United Nations General Assembly on Palestine's status is hardly extraordinary.

It's difficult to imagine an Israeli war in the Middle East that allowed any Arab country to claim victory. The history of the Middle East over the past 75 years has been a history of war, and the Israelis have been the overwhelming victor in each and every one of them. Israel's War of Independence in 1948 marked an overwhelming victory for the Israelis; it created the profound antagonisms that have marked Israeli relations with the Arab states over the past 75 years. The United States and Israel over the years have indulged in a dialogue about a "peace process," but Arab refugees have known neither "peace" nor "
